Best Answer

There are roughly 150,000 Zoroastrians in the world. Most of the people following this faith are educated and have less kids than, say Hindus or Christians would. This is because most Zoroastrian women are working and the religion itself encourages equality for both sexes, a surprising trait considering that the religion was founded around 1800 BCE. Their numbers will continue to slowly shrink until their current child-bearing rate is able to sustain the population. At that point there could be anywhere from 75,000-130,000 of them left. This stable population will happen within a time frame of the next 50 years or so.

What are Arabs if they are not Muslim?

Although 90% of the Arab World is either Sunni or Shiite, there are other important groups. Christians: There are large Christian communities in Lebanon (Maronites) and Egypt (Copts). There are smaller communities stretched throughout Palestine, Syria, and Iraq of Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Assyrians, and Chaldeans. Jews: The Jews who lived in the Arab World were never truly considered Arab both internally and by their Arab neighbors (even though they typically are by Europeans), but at the time of the declaration of the State of Israel there were over 800,000 Jews in the Arab World. Other: There are very small numbers of Bahai'i, Zoroastrians, Yazidi, and many other religions within the Arab World. The sum total of this population is probably less than 10,000.
